I was hoping the Braves would get an easy sweep against the O's but nope...lost 2 out of 3. Then they lost 2 out of 3 against the worst team in the NL (Reds). Yet they still have a 2.5 game lead over the Phils in the NL East. Grabbing a wild card spot in the AL looks a helluva lot tougher than the NL. The Mariners have a .622 winning percentage and still 3 games back in their division and even further from a wild card spot.
4 teams in the AL with a .600+ winning percentage & zero in the NL.
Nelson Cruz has been on my dynasty fantasy league team since it began 4 years ago and he's been my most consistent hitter throughout it all. In fact, he may be the only player I've held onto who was on my original roster in 2015.
Great pick, in that time span nobody has hit more HR than Cruz.
Yeah Im not too sure who is going to win the NL pennant. All the teams kind of suck... it will come down to the trade deadline probably.
You are right though. . . even when the Mariners are lucky they are unlucky. On pace to win 100 games and it will get them only the 2nd wild card which they will lose. The balance reminds me of 2003 when the Ms won 93 games and didn't make playoffs but the 91 win Marlins beat the 80something Cubs and then somehow won it all.
